ABSTRACT

Entrusted by Comrade Lin Piao with the task, Comrade Chiang Ch'ing invited some comrades in the armed forces to a forum held in Shanghai from February 2 to 20, 1966, to discuss certain questions concerning the work in literature and art in the armed forces. Comrade Hsiao Hua and Comrade Yang Cheng-wu expressed enthusiastic approval of and support for the forum and instructed us to act in accordance with Comrade Chiang Ch'ing's opinions. They expressed their thanks to Comrade Chiang Ch'ing for her concern for the work in literature and art in the armed forces. Comrade Lin Piao has kept a firm hold on the work in literature and art since he has been in charge of the work of the Military Commission of the Central Committee of the Party. The fine qualities of the workers who have emerged under the guidance of the correct line of the Party are the concentrated expression of the class character of the proletariat.
